Still want to do Clanwilliam - going to see a client there within the next month, so going to make a weekend out of it and pull out some lunkers while im there.... (No reason not add the positive affirmations about that...)

Have some nice articles of the dam in old fish mags of past, will then review them and fine some nice spots.

Always wanted to try out clanwilliam dam and thats my opportunity...

Will first rig the yak out properly for basss fishing with all the lure pockets etc, makes life alot easier im guessing, as scratching around in a tackle boxe is just too noisy, cumbersome and impractical.

Another idea i saw on youtube once that looks awesome is side stabilisers which gives you the option to stand on the yak - a super idea for bass fishing - since standing helps strike better...

You drive from kuilsriver to somerset west - just before somerset west is the olive estate on your right hand side. Just before that is the robots and on the right hand side of those robots is a recycling plant / place of some sort. there you would turn left (note, turn left coming from Kuilsriver side), once you have turned left you will notice what used to be a petrol station, and a some other shops including dixons security (not sure whether he has a board up but one o my clients, hence how i know of the dam), also i think a small hardware store and further down the road is trevvis upholstery. Drive past the old petrol station and keep left, you will then come to a dam.

This dam is not visible from the road so i assume few know of this dam since the area looks dodge as well. In front of the dam is an open grass patch which is next to (old) faure engineering.

I will be going there sometime soon to check it out - first taking revenge on DK dam (doordekraal)

How do you get access to the dam... I presume we are talking about the one that is situated on what will be the new Sitari Estate?

However since noone yet seems to know about Kuilsriver, give it a shot and let us know if it is worth it

cool Doug, not too worry, this blanking wont last long i'm sure, if you got them from another craft you will soon be catching way more on the stealth, get used to your new ski and then we'll put you into the fish.

Well it's been challenging few Weeks in general with the wind all over the place and odd fish coming out here and there but nothing fantastic! Hopefully in the coming weeks we see change as i personally am feeling a bit depressed without decent fish for a few Weeks now. Today the swell is up in Strand and weather also too good! Could maybe try for elf the evening.

Was at Breeded over new year, but just small stuff (kob). Saw many photos of amazing cataches up on the wall at the bush bub (kob of overy 50KG) some of them recent.
